Fife and Japan
An international collaboration between Japanese artisan papermakers and Scottish artists showcased beautiful handmade prints created by members of Fife Dunfermline Printmakers Workshop in an exhibition at Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries from September 2018 to January 2019. Events included Meet the Artists gallery tours, a talk by Lord Charles Bruce on the links between Scotland and Japan, and a very graceful Japanese Tea Ceremony.
This event was also a retail success. Over £2,500 worth of limited-edition prints, catalogues and greetings cards were sold through the venue shop during the exhibition.
Another important partnership is with Kirkcaldy Photographic Society which celebrated its 120th anniversary by presenting Kirkcaldy Then and Now at Kirkcaldy Galleries from November 2018 to March 2019, featuring photos of the town’s landmarks over the last 12 decades.
